It is not permissible to deal with usurious banks by opening current accounts, as that entails cooperation in sin and aggression. The process of depositing money in this bank is a type of loan that brings benefit, where the depositor lends to the bank to gain an opportunity to participate in prize draws, and this is impermissible. The allocated amount is a form of interest on deposits in a new way that resembles gambling. Therefore, it is not permissible to open an account in this bank.
